This package implements a parameter expanded variational Bayes algorithm for linear regression models with high-dimensional variable selection. The methodology utilizes spike-and-slab priors to perform simultaneous estimation and selection. Details can be found in Olejua et al. (2024) <doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-7208847/v1>.

Users may specify what fundamental qualities of a new study have or have not changed in an attempt to reproduce or replicate an original study. A comparison of the differences is visualized. Visualization approach follows Patil', Peng', and Leek (2016) <doi:10.1101/066803>.

This package implements the Changes-in-Changes (CIC) estimator of Athey and Imbens (2006) <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2006.00668.x> combined with synthetic control methods. Provides both the continuous CIC estimator (Theorem 3.1) and the discrete CIC estimator (Theorem 4.1) for integer-valued outcomes, with analytic and bootstrap inference. Also provides nonparametric estimation of the entire counterfactual distribution of outcomes for a treated group, allowing evaluation of average, quantile, and distributional treatment effects. Synthetic control weights are constructed via elastic net regularization to handle settings with many potential control units.

This package implements the methodological developments found in Hermes, van Heerwaarden, and Behrouzi (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2308.04325>, and allows for the statistical modeling of asymmetric between-location effects, as well as within-location effects using spatial autoregressive graphical models. The package allows for the generation of spatial weight matrices to capture asymmetric effects for strip-type intercropping designs, although it can handle any type of spatial data commonly found in other sciences.

Simultaneous tests and confidence intervals are provided for one-way experimental designs with one or many normally distributed, primary response variables (endpoints). Differences (Hasler and Hothorn, 2011 <doi:10.2202/1557-4679.1258>) or ratios (Hasler and Hothorn, 2012 <doi:10.1080/19466315.2011.633868>) of means can be considered. Various contrasts can be chosen, unbalanced sample sizes are allowed as well as heterogeneous variances (Hasler and Hothorn, 2008 <doi:10.1002/bimj.200710466>) or covariance matrices (Hasler, 2014 <doi:10.1515/ijb-2012-0015>).

Sensitivity to unmeasured biases in an observational study that is a full match. Function senfm() performs tests and function senfmCI() creates confidence intervals. The method uses Huber's M-statistics, including least squares, and is described in Rosenbaum (2007, Biometrics) <DOI:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2006.00717.x>.

Minimal R client for the Screenshotbase API to render website screenshots and query account status. Provides functions to set the API key, call the status endpoint, and take a screenshot as a raw image response.

Standardized accuracy (staccuracy) is a framework for expressing accuracy scores such that 50% represents a reference level of performance and 100% is a perfect prediction. The staccuracy package provides tools for creating staccuracy functions as well as some recommended staccuracy measures. It also provides functions for some classic performance metrics such as mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCROC), as well as their winsorized versions when applicable.

Computerized Adaptive Testing simulations with dichotomous and polytomous items. Selects items with Maximum Fisher Information method or randomly, with or without constraints (content balancing and item exposure control). Evaluates the simulation results in terms of precision, item exposure, and test length. Inspired on Magis & Barrada (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v076.c01>.

Unsupervised text tokenizer allowing to perform byte pair encoding and unigram modelling. Wraps the sentencepiece library <https://github.com/google/sentencepiece> which provides a language independent tokenizer to split text in words and smaller subword units. The techniques are explained in the paper "SentencePiece: A simple and language independent subword tokenizer and detokenizer for Neural Text Processing" by Taku Kudo and John Richardson (2018) <doi:10.18653/v1/D18-2012>. Provides as well straightforward access to pretrained byte pair encoding models and subword embeddings trained on Wikipedia using word2vec', as described in "BPEmb: Tokenization-free Pre-trained Subword Embeddings in 275 Languages" by Benjamin Heinzerling and Michael Strube (2018) <http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2018/pdf/1049.pdf>.

It contains soft clustering algorithms, in particular approaches derived from rough set theory: Lingras & West original rough k-means, Peters refined rough k-means, and PI rough k-means. It also contains classic k-means and a corresponding illustrative demo.

This package provides functions to retrieve the location of R scripts loaded through the source() function or run from the command line using the Rscript command. This functionality is analogous to the Bash shell's $BASH_SOURCE[0]. Users can first set the project root's path relative to the script path and then all subsequent paths relative to the root. This system ensures that all paths lead to the same location regardless of where any script is executed/loaded from without resorting to the use of setwd() at the top of the scripts.

The saemix package implements the Stochastic Approximation EM algorithm for parameter estimation in (non)linear mixed effects models. It (i) computes the maximum likelihood estimator of the population parameters, without any approximation of the model (linearisation, quadrature approximation,...), using the Stochastic Approximation Expectation Maximization (SAEM) algorithm, (ii) provides standard errors for the maximum likelihood estimator (iii) estimates the conditional modes, the conditional means and the conditional standard deviations of the individual parameters, using the Hastings-Metropolis algorithm (see Comets et al. (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v080.i03>). Many applications of SAEM in agronomy, animal breeding and PKPD analysis have been published by members of the Monolix group. The full PDF documentation for the package including references about the algorithm and examples can be downloaded on the github of the IAME research institute for saemix': <https://github.com/iame-researchCenter/saemix/blob/7638e1b09ccb01cdff173068e01c266e906f76eb/docsaem.pdf>.

The Statistical Package for REliability Data Analysis (SPREDA) implements recently-developed statistical methods for the analysis of reliability data. Modern technological developments, such as sensors and smart chips, allow us to dynamically track product/system usage as well as other environmental variables, such as temperature and humidity. We refer to these variables as dynamic covariates. The package contains functions for the analysis of time-to-event data with dynamic covariates and degradation data with dynamic covariates. The package also contains functions that can be used for analyzing time-to-event data with right censoring, and with left truncation and right censoring. Financial support from NSF and DuPont are acknowledged.

Takea Semantic Structure Analysis (TSSA) and Sakai Sequential Relation Analysis (SSRA) for polytomous items. Package includes functions for generating a sequential relation table and a treegram to visualize the sequential relations between pairs of items.

Estimates the authors or speakers of texts. Methods developed in Huang, Perry, and Spirling (2020) <doi:10.1017/pan.2019.49>. The model is built on a Bayesian framework in which the distinctiveness of each speaker is defined by how different, on average, the speaker's terms are to everyone else in the corpus of texts. An optional cross-validation method is implemented to select the subset of terms that generate the most accurate speaker predictions. Once a set of terms is selected, the model can be estimated. Speaker distinctiveness and term influence can be recovered from parameters in the model using package functions. Once fitted, the model can be used to predict authorship of new texts.
